Quick update on the next PPC 970 article

I'm getting a steadily growing stream of emails asking me about the publication date for Part II of my recent article on IBM's PPC 970. This being the case, I figured I'd make a news post and let everyone know where things are. The article is about half done, but there are some very important gaps in the publicly available information on the new chip. I can' t really do a thorough article until those gaps are filled, and to that end IBM has graciously agreed to answer any questions I might have. So, I'm in the process of discussing the 970 with them so that the upcoming article can be as accurate as possible. Hence the slight hold-up in releasing the new article. As it stands, I plan to have the article published before Dec. 17th, but I can't make any promises about having it sooner.
